I-Apple ifuna ukuthi ushintshe ifayela le- isinqumo senkantolo esizodinga ukuthi ushintshe imithetho ye-App Store ukuvumela abathuthukisi ukuthi bangeze izixhumanisi ngaphakathi kohlelo lokusebenza kumawebhusayithi angaphandle. Lokho kuzovula indlela yezinye izinketho zokukhokha ezingadingi ukuthi onjiniyela basebenzise uhlelo lokuthenga lohlelo lokusebenza. Ngenkathi isicelo sisaqhubeka, u-Apple ucele inkantolo ukuthi ihlehlise umyalo wenkantolo, odinga ukuthi usebenze lezo zinguquko ngoDisemba.
U-Apple ucela iNkantolo ukuthi imise okwesikhashana izidingo zomyalo wayo kuze kube kuxazululwa izikhalazo okwethulwe yi-Epic ne-Apple. Inkampani iyakuqonda futhi iyakuhlonipha ukukhathazeka kweNkantolo maqondana nokuxhumana konjiniyela nabathengi. I-Apple isebenza ngokucophelela ezinkingeni eziningi eziyinkimbinkimbi emhlabeni jikelele.

Ukuthola ibhalansi elungile kungaxazulula ukukhathazeka kweNkantolo ngokunikeza umyalo wenkantolo (futhi mhlawumbe nesicelo sika-Apple uqobo) kungadingekile. Ukuhlala kulezi zimo kuvumelekile.
U-Apple uthi ukwenza izinguquko ku-App Store ngeke kuzuze muntu. Imidlalo yama-Epic isho okuphambene nalokho
Ngokuya nge-Apple, ukwenza izinguquko emithethweni ye-App Store kungaba «kucasule ibhalansi ngokucophelela phakathi konjiniyela namakhasimende anikezwe yi-App Store«. Lokho kungaqeda ukulimala okungenakulungiswa enkampanini nakubathengi.
IJaji lagcizelela ukuthi imithetho elwa namakheli yakwa-Apple evimbela ukuxhumana namawebhusayithi angaphandle kuvimbela ukukhetha kwabathengi ngokungemthetho. Kuvimbele i-Apple ukuthi ivimbele onjiniyela ukuthi bangafaki "kuzinhlelo zabo zokusebenza nezinkinobho zabo zemethadatha, izixhumanisi zangaphandle noma ezinye izingcingo ezenzweni eziqondisa amakhasimende ekuthengeni izindlela."
